The things we end up being grateful for—a reduction of holiday evictions, people having cars they can sleep in. What have we become?

Try this one I'll precise on Thanksgiving I totaled my car the towing company took my car and then decided to junk my car with all my Christmas presents Christmas decorations in my car took my place all my belongings and decided to destroy my car without my permission without letting me know they took my plates and my handicap placard and all these possessions they said with the car I asked someone and they said have your lawyer call me I still own the vehicle and basically they stole my car and on my stuff and left me for dead cost me $80 a day to try to get to work when I go to work on that same day that I did get in accident my cat died an hour later from the cockroaches in my apartment poisoning their food. It cost me now $80 a day just to go round trip to work. I paid my landlord $650 for December rent and now he's threatening me with eviction as of this past Saturday on the 27th it is so crazy how am I supposed to get out of here when I don't have a car to get anything out with don't have a place to go and I certainly won't have a job can't sleep on my cock so I don't have a car what to do who knows if anybody has an idea let me know. Unfortunately nobody cares about anybody this time of year or at this time of the decade everybody is cutthroat screw you away from me and don't give a damn about the other if you have any ideas of an organization or church or somebody that could help please let me know

There was no way to save for a car because I'm spending everything to try to get a job to keep a place to keep money coming in so I can have a place to live but that's coming coming to an end really quick thanks

Ms. Muell, I am very sorry to hear about all that you are going through. I'm not sure where you live or what resources there may be in your community, but if you send me an email to quigley2@iu.edu I can at least get you the contact info for your local legal services agency to see about your car and landlord situation.
